KELOWNA, B.C. — Mounties in Kelowna are investigating after a woman died following an altercation at a care home with another resident.
Police say the 90-year-old woman was involved in the altercation at the care facility on Dec. 18.
They say she received medical treatment but died shortly after her release from hospital the next day.
The Kelowna RCMP Serious Crime Unit is investigating alongside the BC Coroners Service.
No further information is being released at this time.
Drive BC, the province's online travel information system, says Highway 1 between Revelstoke and Golden is closed until at least 8 p.m. for avalanche control and no detour is available.
The police service says that over the next 4 1/2 hours, there were another 78 unfounded calls, many claiming someone was in distress, and using fictitious names and addresses.
On December 29th at approximately 7:20 am Surrey RCMP responded to a collision involving a pedestrian and an Acura CSX sedan at the intersection of 152 Street and 68 Avenue.
The health authority filed its response to the statement of claim in B.C. Supreme Court in early December.
He said Handlen had no need to continue working for a supposed crime group set up in a RCMP sting operation because he had lots of work as a handyman.
The woman's three-year-old child remains in hospital in stable condition and is expected to be released early next week.
